CASTLE HAYNE, N.C. – Longtime Wilmington RV dealer Rex & Sons RV hosted a Great Grand Opening Celebration on March 22 at its new location in Castle Hayne, N.C., filled with family, friends, colleagues, customers and community supporters, according to a release. The family-owned and operated business moved from its former location on South College Road in Wilmington, N.C., to a new, larger facility in Castle Hayne in August 2024.

The lively event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony, attended by distinguished guests Congressman David Rouzer, Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo, New Hanover Sheriff Edward McMahon, New Hanover County Commissioner LeAnn Pierce, and North Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce President Dana Fisher.

Operations Manager Travis Creech said the new 17,000-square-foot facility at 5625 Barbados Blvd., just off of Interstate 40, has allowed Rex & Sons RV to grow its offerings across the board.

“We were able to expand in all the areas, not just sales, new and used, but also in service and in parts,” Travis Creech said.

The new facility is more than double the size of the former 8,000-square-foot dealership, which was located on just over an acre of land at 1546 S. College Road. The new Castle Hayne facility sits on 7 acres. Creech said the additional space has allowed the dealership to operate more efficiently.

Rex & Sons RV was founded in 1997 by Travis’ dad, Rex, and operated at the South College Road location for 18 years. Travis Creech said they identified the property, located just off Interstate 40, for the new facility in 2020. Property records show that Rex and Peggy Creech purchased the site in June 2023 for $852,000. Today, Rex & Sons RV employs 15 people. Travis’ brother, Jonathan, serves as the dealership’s general manager.

“My dad, Rex, and my brother, Jonathan, and myself, it’s kind of been a lifelong dream to have a professional, efficient RV dealership ever since we’ve been in the industry,” Travis Creech said.

Last year, Cape Fear Custom RV Service joined Rex & Sons RV, expanding its service offerings. The new Castle Hayne facility has eight service bays along with an indoor showroom and a parts and accessories department. The expanded building also gives them the space to hold seminars for RV enthusiasts and community events, Travis Creech said.

Travis Creech also expressed excitement for the future of Rex & Sons RV, sharing his appreciation for the overwhelming community support. The Grand Opening drew a remarkable crowd, providing a day of festivities that had something for everyone. Attendees enjoyed delicious food from local food trucks, live entertainment, and the opportunity to explore nearby campgrounds. Free seminars conducted by industry professionals offered valuable insights, and manufacturers’ representatives showcased innovative RV options.

Local vendors enriched the event with their unique displays, creating a vibrant atmosphere for RV enthusiasts and newcomers alike. “We are thrilled to see such overwhelming support from the community and industry professionals. This event marks an exciting chapter for Rex & Sons RV,” said Travis Creech.

Rex & Sons RV extends heartfelt gratitude to all the attendees, supporters, and participants who made the event an extraordinary success.
